Thoroughly enjoyable memoir from a Roma Russian woman who emigrated to LA in the 1980s. Oksana comes to the US with her parents and sister; the family splits almost immediately and she's left with adjusting to a new world and navigating the new world of the family she never really understood. Really good for lots of readers.
A beautiful narrative of lived experience offering an insight into the Romany culture and navigating the complexities of politics, prejudice, tradition, and identity. Oksana offers a tragicly poignant and surprisingly familiar tale of growing up in a world in between everything, while finding where you belong.
